Great Barrier: The Must-Have Heat Protectant Spray for Your Beachwaver Curling Iron
If you love the iconic Beachwaver rotating curling irons, let us introduce you to her bestie: Great Barrier Heat Protectant Hairspray!
This lightweight, flexible spray shields your strands from heat while locking in your style. In this post, we’ll show you why heat protection is essential and how it helps you achieve long-lasting, chic styles.
Do I Really Need Heat Protectant?
Yes, you need heat protection when styling your hair!
Heat protectant creates a (great) barrier between your hair and a hot tool reducing damage like dryness and breakage.Heat above 392℉ can cause irreversible damage to your hair, so protection is a must when using high-heat styling tools.
This is especially crucial for styling tools such as Beachwaver curling irons or Coast Pro Flat Iron as they reach higher temperatures than regular blow dryers. Hot tools can cause breakage and frizz, especially when it is set to temperatures over 428℉.
Fortunately, Great Barrier hairspray can shield up to 450℉ like insurance for your hair!
While more research on heat protectant sprays is needed, tests have concluded that the use of heat protection with copolymers like in Great Barrier Heat Protectant Spray can provide some protection against damage.
Copolymers are common in heat protectant sprays because they create a thin, protective barrier between your hair and hot styling tools. This shield for your strands reduces the risk of dryness, breakage and frizz, keeping your hair healthy and thriving even with high heat.

To use Great Barrier Heat Protectant Spray, hold it away about 10-12 inches away from the hair and spray evenly.
Pro tip: if you have a lot of hair, section it off to ensure even coverage. Using Darby Clips to hold your hair keeps sections neat and out of the way as you curl, making styling easier and faster.
While you can use our heat protectant spray on damp or dry hair, always make sure your hair is fully dried before using any hot tools. Do not apply hot tools like curling irons or straighteners on wet strands as it can easily damage your hair.
